Being from Illinois, what this graphic fails to point out is the state politicians are the perps.
Looking at this map causes me to think about what state to consider according negatives...e.g...would there be an advantage with current appearance or intelligence, or pick your prefrence to visit, or move to a state according to this information.
Not taking grandchildren to petting zoos in Oregon. Sorry, can't share sharp stick for minds eye. |

I'll take Ohio- what a flippin' problem- the most visits to the library.
Maybe if more people went to the library instead of the fridge our country wouldn't have a population where 46% is obese.

Yes we convicts do like a beer or two... having a Coopers right now in fact
Brisbane (Drikko) and Adelaide (Robleyd) were both founded by Lutherans of opposing views. So they set up cities 2000 miles apart
But being Lutherans and Germans, they set up cultures which, to this day love the goodly, trusty, steeds BMW motorbikes 
The convict culture made the Larrikin, part of Oz culture, and the Larrikin loves beer and women and no doubt good motorbikes. Now there's a bit of AU Day history for ya |

Drikko is remorseful;

Go easy on im fellas. He is doing his best
Each to his own and who am I to say anything...
He is eating his vegemite sandwiches and being a great Dad
All the best with the floods Drikko and I trust your shed (barn) is drying out nicely.
Did you pick up the new Laverda addition to your stable yet?
Whatever it takes  |

I agree about Idaho. Spent a month working in Twin Falls, near the Snake River Canyon. Beautiful scenery and the people I met were generally good. Didn't notice anyone who looked like they were waiting for a bus back to North Dakota.
North Dakota. Nemo amor ascerbic anus but maybe they got dropped off at Sturgis and couldn't get out.
Utah...folks who don't smoke or drink found something to do with their hands. |

All good with that
Didn't know they were offloading even with the floods 
Mind you there is a cyclone bearing down on us as we speak
At least everyone is ready for more weather now.
All the debris has been washed away and the water can get away more quickly and easily I guess
Send us some pics when you can.
All the best for the up n coming arrival |

So the bishop is checking into the hotel and he asks the desk clerk "Is the porn in my room disabled?"
The clerk replies no you sick bastard it's just regular porn.
